During the prevalence Of epidemic dis.
cases., such as yellow fever, typhoid fever
and cholera, 1t is better TO use in privy
vaults, cesspools, etc., those antiseptics
which are also disinfectants-i. O., germi-
cides; and when the contents of such re,
ceptacles are known to be infective, this
becomes imperative.
The infectious character of the dejec,
lions of patients suffering from cholera
and from typhoid fever is well estab,
llshed; and this is true of mild cases and
Of the earliest stages of these diseases as
well as Of sever and fatal cases. 1t is
probable that epidemic ~dysentery, tuber,
culosis and perhaps diphtheria, yellow
fever, scarlet fever and typhoid fever may
also be transmitted by means of the alvine
discharges of the sick. 1t is, therefore, of
the first Importance that these should be
disinfected. In cholera, %diphtheria, vel,
low fever and scarlet fever all vomited
material should be looked upon as infec-
dous. And in tuberculosis, d%iphtheria,
scarlet fever and infectious pneumonia
the sputa of the sick should be disinfected
or destroyed by fire. 1t seems advisable
also to treat the urine of patients sick

The eggs of a single sturgeon, counted

and weighed forty-five pounds


1t is no longer a question Of doubt
although the contrary was once believed
that medicines which produce violent
effects are unsuited to other than desper-
ate emergencies. In other words, that
supor- potent remedies are calculated to
weaken and iniure the system rather than
reform its irregularities. Among medi.
cines of facilitating effect are cathartics
and cholagogues, which copieusly and
abruptly evacuate the bowels. Because
it does not do this Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is preferable to the drenching
class of purgatives. Painless in its effect,
it is sufficiently active to remedy chronic
constipation. 1t relieves by invigorating
the intestines, and enables, not forces,
them to perform the duty imposed upon
them by nature. Promoting the secre-
tions of bile in normal quantities by its
beautifully stimulating effect upon the
liver, it is eminently conducive to diges-
ton, and contributes in no small degree
to keep the bowels regular.

THE RING BLOWING HABIT.
Tho Sad Spectacle of a Depraved Young
Smoker Observed by a Reporter.

The Sad Spectacle of a Depraved Young
Smoker Observed by a Reporter.
They were sitting in the veranda of the
pavilion at Staten Island, gazing dreamGiy
at the lights of the Brooklyn bridge be
their smoke when the elder Of the twain
observed his companion blow a ring of
cigarette smoke from his lips and watch
1t float upward into the air with an ex-
preston of mingled contentment.
Foolish boy" he remarked pityingly.
why foolish, doctor' What ave l
done now7''
you are destroying all your pleasure
in smoking, II any who smokes cigarettes
can take pleasure in smoking"
How so2 1 don't see that / am taking
less pleasure than you are.n
But you are" returned the elder,
much less. Now l warrant you didn't
see that pretty girl who passed by a mo
meut ago, and as for that yacht with its
gay lights which just steamed down the
kill, it might as well have been a coal
barge for any pleasure you took out OF the
sight"
What girls" exclaimed the youth. 81
didu't see any. Neither did l see the
yacht. But" he continued pettishly, 81
cant be looking out for such things all
the time. Life is too short n pretty
girls and yachts too plenty"
True, but they were not put in this
world to be neglected, and you will con-
tinu,e 10 neglect such beautiful sights SO
long rs you persist in the useless and
pernicious habit Of blowing smoke into
those absurd rings"
"Ringss What on earth do you mean1'
just what | say. The effort it takes
you to curl your smoke into circles de
struys all the pleasure which tobacco gives
to the smoker. You judge of the excel
lence of n cigarette or a cigar by the num-
Der of rings it contains to the inch. Your
mind is upon the smoke, not upon the fra
nrance of the weed"
Il don't see it exactly in that light"
''Of course not. The habit is a selfish
and lnsidious one. 1t grows upon its
victim imperceptibly. 1t make one
morose and unsociable. | have noticed
half a dozen times tonight that you were
paying no attention whatever to my re
marks, watching those silly rings you are
pulling your manners away in. Not only
have you been inattentive, but l have seen
you suddenly stop in the middle of a sen
tence and make a rantic and u~ndignified
effort to send a second ring through the
center Of one you ave just blown as a
circus tumble risks his neck to eclipse his
previous effort so~mersaulting. Then, too,
II you were NOT HuulCueu 10 InlS IOOllSn
habit o might smoke cigars and be an
agreeable member of society. l have
noticed that most yingsters are devotees to
cigarettes simply from this sad craze.
Give it up, my boy, and be a sensible man. {"
"I-don't- know but-what-you-
are-right, - replied the youth slowly, his
right cheek expanded to its limit with
smoke which he pulled forth in a series of
perfect circles.
I'm afraid you are beyond redemp-
tion," replied the elder, after a short
pause.
'~'Perhnps-you pun are-right," re-
piled the young man, absent mindedly, as
he watched the ring collide with a mus
quito and scatter into fleecy cloud over
his head. I'm tired; suppose we go to

There are a number of varieties of bath
at each temperature. Thus, II the entire
body is submerged, it is a full bath; If
only half, it is a half bath: If the feet only
are immersed, it is a foot bath, etc.
Sponging the entire surface is an easy
and convenient mean of securing most of
the advantages of a full bath, while the
trouble of the latter expense also is
avoided. If cold water is used, the skin
is stimulated mt the nervous system re-
ceives all the tonic effects to be had from
bathing. The shower bath is still more
stimulating to the nerves and skin. If it
is cold, there may be considerable risk OF
doing injury. This is true of all forms of
cold" baths. No one with degenerated
heart or arteries should incur the dangers
OF the cold ''fulln or ''shower bath" The
first effect Of the application of cold to the
skin is to cause a sudden contraction OF
all the small blood vessels, thus driving
the blood in upon the central organs. An
additional strain is thus placed upon the
vessels Of the lungs, brain, In fact, Of the
whole interior department. If their walls
have been weakened by disease, they may
give way, apoplexy or rupture of an an
eurism may follow the injudicious appli.
cation of cold bathing.-Globe- Democrat.

The Origin of "Dago."

There is a word which may be called
newspaper or reporters Italian in vogue
In Chicago. That is "Dago." When or
how it originated no italian knows. 1t is
not an Italian word, cannot be found in
the dictionary, and is not even a vulgar
word. 1t is commonly applied to all Ital-
ians, but sometimes more particularly to
saloon keepers or restaurateurs. Italians
of cultivation, on this ground perhaps,
consider it an insulting epithet, but have
NO idea what it means or whence it was
derived. AS the word had its origin in
Chicago, and seems to come tripplngly
from the tongue, 1t will undoubtedly
maintain its hold, but any person wishing
to gain favor with an intelligent Italian
will refrain from using it. 1t is not ever
kindred to such words as Cockney, Yam
kee or Sawney. 1t is an upstart pure
and simple. 1t is Chicagonese.-Chicag

Our little son will be four years of age

attacked with a very painful breaking out
of the skin. We called in a physician
who treated him for about four weeks.
The child received little or no good from
the treatment, as the breaking out, sup
posed by the physician to be hives in an
aggravated form, became larger in
blotches, and more and more distressing.
We were frequently obliged to get up in
the night and rub him with soda in water,
strong liniments, etc. Finally, we called

we gave him only one dose of the Resell

days longer, and he has never been

"Away aok in the lays when Blu

T. Williams the other day, "while I was
a mere boy setting type, Robert Bonner
startled the town one morning by filling
a whole page in The Herald, Times and

Mr.. Henry j. Raymond had arranged for
the publication of one of his famous con
troversial political letters in The Times,
but on picking up his paper at his break

u~nayoidably left out because of Mr..
Bonner's advertisements. Though The
Times needed money in those days, for
1t was still in its infancy, Mr.. Raymond
was a journalist who knew what he was
about. Mr.. Raymond got as angry as it
was possible with his sunny, amiable tenn

next issue of The Times announcing that
newspapers were primarily published for
the benefit of their readers, who wanted
news and comment. Unless they got that

columns of advertisements brought In a
good deal of money, he did not propose to

"Oh, he was shrewd enough to fill his
three columns with a brief letter to Mr..

Any revelations bearing on the corona
ton of Napoleon / by Plus VII will be in
teresting to the general reader. A writer
in The Musee des Families has Just given
the public a series of interesting details
which he has compiled from the best orig
inal resources, and which are, by the by,
of quite a valuable kind. According to
this authority, NJ. Nitot, the emperor's
silversmith, was seen entering the fuller
les palaces carrying a round package on
his right arm. Addressing one of the i'm
perial lackeys he asked If he could not see
his majesty.
ellis majesty is not out of bed" was
the reply.
"Please to his majesty" said
NJ. Nitot, ''that 1 should like to speak
with him"
The silversmith was soon afterward
ushered into the imperial bedroom, where
Napoleon and his wife Josephine were still
enjoying their repose, the former wearing
a kerchief o his head and the latter
a nightcap.
ooh, it's you, Papa Nitot, ~ exclaimed
Napoleon. "Good day, Papa Nitot; n
newsP'
"Sire, 1 come to try it,
"Try what, Papa Nitots"

Whereupon Napoleon flung the kerchief
to the other end of the chamber, raised
himself on his arm, and was crowned
there and then most respectfully by the
silversmith.

phine's reply.
"But you must see If it fits you, also, ~
he exclaimed to his wife, taking off the
crown from his own head and placing it
tenderly on hers, after having relieved his
imperial spouse Of the rather democratic
cap she had been wearing. The crown
proved to be as good a fit for the empress
as for the emperor, and both were delight
ed with Papa Nitot's dexterity in its

the wishes Of the people OF Dakota.
This claim is q mere subterfuge It is
made to delay the statehood of Dakota
long enough so that the admission
could not, by any chance, affect the
coming presidential election. The
time has now come that the democrat
ic party can safely move in the direc-
tion of Dakota's admission. and the
one-state convention now in session at
Aberdeen, is but the opening move
ment which will soon be followed by
an enabling act offering Dakota state
hood as whole
